5so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. 6We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; 7ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; 8the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness. (Romans 12:5-8; NRSV)
Collectively, we are the body of Christ. As one body, our various gifts flow out of a common heart of love for God. Please remember do your best to express your love through your giving. For as suggested by this text, our giving is a testimony that Christ and His body of Christ are alive and well.
